Hi Gabriel,

I just saw your twwet you send me a few days ago. Sorry for not responding, but typically personal tweets are spam most of the times, so I dont check them that often.

As far as I know, we don't have any 'official' reference case for activiti and Alfresco specific. But we do know many companies are happily using us.
That being said, there is a webinar tomorrow about activiti + alfresco, might be interesting: http://www.alfresco.com/events/webinars/implementing-controlled-documentation-and-change-control-sol...

(I have no clue about the content, so dont blame me if it is boring 😉 )

Hi Gabriel,

here is my success story (if do you care 🙂 ).

I'm a Java programmer and I work to an Italian ERP focused on mechanical industry. A customer of ours asked us to implement a BPM project related to his offer process. After many weeks spent in testing some other solutions, I found Activiti.
We chose it because:
- it's written in plain, simple Java;
- it's simple: no complex dependencies, the test enviromnent just works!
- it's well documented: the online help is very good, and "Activiti in action" is really a good book
- it's very easy to integrate via the REST API
- there is a great community

So we integrated it in our application, making REST calls to an Activiti server we set up on the same application server on wich our application runs.

Ask me more if you want.

Bye

Franco

Hi Joram, no problem at all about the tweet. I didn't know where can i send this question. Actually i know activiti is the right option for our bpm, but my client wants to see others success histories. It's a marketing issue for you …. some managers need this kind of things

Hi Franco, thanks for the detail. I understand the beneficts and how powerful is activiti… i have to convince my client with non-technical information. Your history help in that way!

Understandable and noted.

Here are some sessions from the past devcon that might help:
